My name is Wayne, 33 from the UK, i was well in to gaming when i was younger, but due to family and work, i dont have time to play on my consoles much anymore, but when i do get time, i still love my adventure and action games. Im a massive fan of tombraider, silent hill, resident evil, dino crisis etc, anything that can challenge my brain :)
My young lad is in to his gaming and is 5 years old, and loves his wii, so i decided today to mod it for him, all went great :)
Read lots of articles on the site and the efforts the members of the community do is amazing to help others and i for one really appreciate all their time and efforts.

Its nice to be part of the community and hope i can also be of use to future members too.

Wii's post 2009 generally cannot play backups via the disc drive and have to use usb loading.
I recommend usb loading anyway as you can add an remove your games easily and there is no wear and tear on your disc drive and no messing about with discs etc.
